One consistent element in the art I have done since I was a boy is monsters.

Adventures of Bob Hope # 109

The Adventures of Bob Hope began being published in 1950. This 1968 cover is to the last issue of the series. Beginning with # 95, a regular set of monsters co-stared in the book. They were the monstrous faculty at Benedict Arnold High School. That included Frank N. Stein, the coach and Dr. Van Pyre, the principal.

Neal Adams is best known for his pioneering, and influential, realistic style of drawing superhero comics. He also did the cover and interior art in these later Bob Hope comics, from issues #106-109.

No comments:

For many people, monsters and creatures of all sorts are weird things for someone to enjoy; but the dual nature of our personalities and learning to deal with fear and what is uncontrollable in our lives is common to us all. Humor is a useful tool for that purpose.
